Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter missed his second consecutive day of practice Friday as he waits for medical clearance to return to the lineup.

Porter practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but did not practice Thursday or Friday. And despite Porter’s desire — “Me, I want to play,” he said — it is unlikely the fifth-year veteran would play against the Saints on Sunday night.

Porter was the only Broncos player missing when the team took the field for Friday morning’s workout. He was, however, standing on the sideline, with his jersey pulled over a hooded sweatshirt, when the practice was over. The Broncos formally listed him as questionable for the game.

“Our medical people, our trainers, doctors, are evaluating him,” said Broncos coach John Fox. “… This is not your typical football injury … the player’s safety is what’s paramount right now.”

Porter has been sidelined since Sunday, Oct. 14, when he felt a repeat of symptoms — light-headedness, some dizziness and increased heart rate — that he felt just before he suffered a seizure in August. He did not make the trip to San Diego for the Oct. 15 game against the Chargers and has practiced only sparingly since.

He missed Thursday’s practice because of a doctor’s appointment. Porter said Friday afternoon he still hoped to be cleared to play against his former team.

“(I’m) still taking it day by day,” Porter said. “… Things happen, it was unfortunate, it happened, I just have to deal with it and move on.”

But with the Broncos having worked on the defensive plan without Porter through the week, it is unlikely the Broncos would put Porter in the lineup even if he were to be cleared later Friday or Saturday. Porter said he has taken part in meetings and worked in the weight room through the week.

The Broncos started Chris Harris in the right cornerback spot against the Chargers and used Tony Carter in the nickel (five defensive backs) and dime (six defensive backs) packages.

The Broncos will use plenty of the nickel and dime against the Saints’ high-powered passing attack. New Orleans leads the league in passing yards at 335.2 yards per game. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is second in the league in touchdown passes with 18.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyreek Hill didn’t know what to do when he started hearing thousands of people in Arrowhead Stadium chanting his name, even as he stood all alone on the frozen turf waiting for the punt.
